Yeah go with the 13b. What level of performance are you looking for? You can go n/a or turbo......I personally would go turbo becuz im just sick and twisted like that....... Theres basically a lot of ways to go with it, it just depends on what you are looking for and also the budget you are willing to go with. Thats a nice project youve decided to take on good luck with it.

I recommend a turbocharged series 4 (86 through 88) or series 5 (89 through 91) 4-port turbo block. Use this with an aftermarket EFI system and you'll make some good power out of this thing (over 250 to the wheels on pump gas).

Start with a stock turbo motor, like a series 5 motor and keep it stock for now.

Get use to the car and the motor first then start building her up. If you go to hard with a strong motor now you'll lose her on rainny days, no weight at the back.
